    They give out a thousand condoms and say they serviced a thousand people.
    They pay for a hundred abortions and say the serviced a hundred people.
    This way they say that abortions are less of a precentage or the services preformed.
    Actually most of their money is spent on abortion. The thousand condoms are cheeper that the hundred abortions but they can still say they serviced abortions at a smaller precentage. I posted a chart earlier on this. It's simply a shell game protecting a billion dollar industry that donates millions to the democratic party.

    Why don't you cite the source of that phony pie chart, which is complete and total bullchit? Here is the real chart from Planned Parenthood.

    [​IMG]

    Only 3% of their patient care actually goes to abortion services. And, according to federal law, Planned Parenthood cannot actually use government funds on abortion procedures. So, if Planned Parenthood gets defunded, it’ll hurt poor people who are in need of cancer screenings, contraception, and STD testing. So, your claims don’t hold water.

    Wow. A million dollars. The oil and gas industry spent $34 million in campaign contributions to republicans. The pharmaceutical industry spent $200 million lobbying republicans. And on and on. I am on record as saying we should make lobbying illegal.

    The source cites no basis for this claim.

    Abortion is not illegal and it is not murdering babies. Your religious beliefs can't be imposed on others. It's in the Constitution.

    They don't get funds for abortions and haven't for decades. You are just don't want them promoting contraception and women's issues in general and are using abortion as a smokescreen. The Catholic church doesn't get to impose it's morality on everyone.

    That's like saying you don't use your salary to buy illegal drugs. You use other money.

    The accounting is far more sophisticated than "your pockets". Congress wasn't stupid when it made that provision. PP has different programs with segregated budgets that withstand regular auditing to insure the funding goes only where it is authorized.
